Review # 1 was written on 2011-02-28 00:00:00 Joseph Clemens One of the funniest SF books I've read in a while. The characters of the "bears" (actually Dilbians, alien inhabitants of another planet who happen to resemble brown bears here) are a lot of fun, and the human characters are too. There are actually three stories in this book - call two of them novellas and the third a short story - about the developing relationship between humans and Dilbians (who refer to humans as "shorties", since size-wise humans are to them as hobbits would be to humans.) Most of the plotting revolves around the best kind of plot twists, the ones you don't see coming but which make perfect sense in hindsight. My only question is about the book's title and cover illustration, because it doesn't really come into any of the stories - I guess it was just a pun and picture an editor couldn't resist.
